Upping the ante
I had no idea we’d get here so quickly, but here we are. It’s been just under a year since we first launched the Tacoma Playing Cards project, and I’m happy to report that we’ve nearly sold out our initial print run of 5,000 decks! And we’ve had so many requests from Bridge players (and…

Chicken scratches
If you’ve read about the squash in our attic, our crazy food-shopping habits, and my illustrated political rants—you probably already know that the Tailor and I are freakishly into sustainability. So you can imagine how happy I was when our lovely new local food co-op asked me to design a reusable water bottle for them.…

Steam punks
Wayzgoose worked like a well-oiled machine this year—and that’s the way we like it. (Even if we were just a little extra tired afterward.) We were finally able to have the event in the parking lot next door, which allowed way more people to gather ’round the steamroller—and gave the artists more elbow room for…

Chipping away
It’s that time of year again: the trees are blooming outside, and inside we’re playing with knives. The ninth (!) annual Tacoma Wayzgoose is one week from today—and if we’re really lucky, Jessica and I might just finish carving our design by then. As usual, we’ll reveal the whole design that day, but until then,…

Fridge Flock
These have been a long time in the making, and I’m practically chirping with glee to be able to share them with you! I’ve partnered with Seattle’s very own Madison Park Greetings to add some of my birds to their line of iPop Clicks magnets! There are three different sets available, and each set contains…

The best we could have wished for
Many thanks to everyone who helped make Dandelion Wishes hit the ground running last weekend—and for everyone who made a wish for the wishing tree!

Dandelion Wishes
Well, I can finally let you in on the secret, because “coming soon” is about to be switched to “now open.” My friend Susan has spent years building her children’s apparel business, Dandelion Wishes, from idea to brick-and-mortar store—and I’m the lucky gal she asked to help her develop the look and brand of her…

Books by the Bay
It’s hard to believe it’s been two years since the last one, but a few weeks ago I was back for my second showing at the Codex International Bookfair. The four-day fair was at a new venue this year—a space so gorgeous just I had to break out the ol’ sketchbook. This year (and hopefully…

Gun Shy
This has not been an easy post to write—and yet in a way it’s been writing itself over and over again, for years now. To be honest, Jessica and I designed this broadside months ago, and planned to release it shortly after last year’s theater shooting in Aurora, CO. Other projects got in the way,…
